Gainesville Couront: Col. Pryor L. NY
matt, distinguished member of Atlanta
bar, passed through Gainesville last Sun
day on his way home from visit to his
aged mother, who lives at Pine Log, in this
county. While in the city the Colonel told
startling and strange story to a few friends
that we think would not be amiss to publish.
He says that few weeks ago his mother,
who has been i'll for some time at her home
at Pine Log, was sitting in front of her fire
place when she startled her family with
the announcement: "Poor Susan is dead:
she's gone to her rest" She repeated this
several times during the day. The lady she
had reference to was daughter living in
Western Texas, thousands of miles away
whom she had not seen in years. In a week
or ten days after this letters were received
by Col. Mynatt in Atlanta and his mother
at Pine Log to the effect THAT Susan"
the daughter and sister had departed this
life very suddenly, the letters giving full
accounts of her short and fatal illneSs-so
short that there was no time to advise her
Georgia relatives even of her serious illness.
Macon Telegraph: In the telegram
from Chicago, printed in theTelegraph
of yesterday, was the state
ment that there is but one case known to
medical science where man iudicially hung
has been resuscitated.n Capt. j. A. Simpson
read the telegram, and says he knows Of an
instance, and that the old citizens of Macon
will remember the man. He Gays that in
1882 negro was hanged in South Carolina
for some trivial offense. In those days there
was much more hanging than now
The body was taken down after
hanging thirty minutes, and resus-
citated. This gave him his free
dom. He ran away from the locality and
after many years landed in Macon, reach
ing here in 1910. he apprenticed himself to
MIR. NJ. q. Rylander, and then took the
name of Jack Rylander. He then became
one of the best blacksmiths of the county
and was so known for thirty yeas He al
ways carried his head bent forward to one
side, and presented repuIsive appearance
de often said he had wished thousands of
buiitS bHttI Un6 doctors VINO Drought MN
back to life had not done so. At the time
of his death he owned considerable land
near the cemetery and on Madison street.
An interesting incident occurred at At
lanta Friday in the Executive Office. Dur
ing the morning Isabella Rooney, the
female convict pardoned Thanksgiving day
by the Governor, in company with Mrs.
Harper, of the Womans Christian Temper
ance Union, called upon Gov. Gordon for
the purpose of thanking him for the great
kindness done to her. Isabella was plainly
but neatly clad, and wore cracker sun
bonnet. She is not an unattractive girl in
appearance, but her face indicates a very
low order of m ntal power. When the
women first arrived the Governor was
busy, and they departed, but
returned in a short while. During
their absence some changes had been
made in Isabella's appearance, the cracker
bonnet had given way TO more becoming
hat, and few additions lent more charms
70 her appearance. Ushered into Gov
Gordon's presence, she was received kindly.
and in a simple, plain way thanked him for
her pardon. 1t was evident that she had
been taught what to say, but the words
were doubtless none the less sincere. Isabella
is at present an inmate of charitable in
stitution in the city, and the good ladies In
charge will see to 1t that she is well taken
care of and carefully looked after until a
permanent home is provided.
